- Today on Unfiltered Stories, we share Kyra Proft's story. At just 12 years old, she was groomed online by a man who pretended to be 16 but turned out to be 57. For six months, he held her mentally hostage with threatening pictures, instilling fear for her life if she told anyone. Fortunately, he was eventually caught and served 13 years in prison for his predatory crimes. Kyra's story is one of immense bravery and resilience as she overcame this traumatic chapter.

Children are committing suicide because of this.😢
😢😢😢
its CALLED WATCH WHAT YOUR KIDS DO ONLINE
@@me2846 saying that doesnt change a thing... rent a bill board or shout it from the roof tops, there will still be vulnerable children and predatory adults
Make all companies require age 18 or 19! Majority age!
@@abou8963 that doesn’t stop anything… all you have to do is put in a fake year. ID. Me verification needs to be required. At my job, I validate unemployment insurance appeals and ID. Me is required.. why not for these types of sites. It’s insane.
He got lucky. In Texas you can get 20 years for each picture.
Depends. If you are a billionaire with extra special connections you get away free with any amount.
I don't ever want my kids first thought to be I can't tell my mom. I've told them over and over that I am always here to help them and that we all make mistakes that's how we learn. ❤ Thanks for sharing your story!
Exactly !!! That's what I told my kids when they were young. They told me everything. That's the way it should be tho. We were all young once and I'm sure a lot of adults did things we weren't allowed to do.
This unfortunately happens too often. One of my young mentees fell victim to this also🥹. She now has an old school mobile phone that can simply call and text. No internet, no social media, nothing.
This is all any child needs under the age of 18 in my opinion ‼️
Thank you so much for sharing.
for anyone wondering why this girl sent the pictures in the first place I can tell you that I told my daughter at least 50 times over years to never share explicit pictures with anyone for any reason. At the age of 17 she did and it was a mess afterwards to say the least. I could have told her "I told you so", but I knew it was no use. She had to learn on her own. But its our responsibility as parents to guard our kids from the world. Let them know its manditory that you are allowed to see their messages online or on their phone until they are adults. If they are on a computer with a webcam, the computer should be in a public place with no closed door and you should monitor what is on that computer. The World is not a safe place.
What a scary situation
I personally believe no one under 18 should chat to anyone online.. 😞
I learnt about the dangers of the internet way before I
got my first online account.
Breaks my heart that so many young girls and boys fall victim to these creeps.
Totally agree 😔🥹
@@MSSHARIII I knew all about the signs and dangers of online creeps from a book on growing up for teenagers
And even after that
I wouldn't get an account online until I thought I was ready
And that wasn't until I turned 18.
@@Megs24theJokerQueenThat's amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.
I will get some books for my young mentees on this topic!
@@Megs24theJokerQueenI sorta disagree, but children should know about online safety, the dangers
I agree. And companies are Heartless and stupid. And the courts say parents are responsible when a 45, 55, or 65 decides to cheat a child!
very well spoken. demonstrates just how innocently these situations can begin and then be maximally exploited. this guy had a key to kyra's 12 year-old brain and rewired it to replace safety with fear, innocence with shame, and victimhood with blame. i can imagine the harmful effects of this manipulation remaining long after the embarrassment of leaked images has subsided.
Her mom is such a good parent
Well done Mum
This is great of you to do. I’m glad he was stopped. Who knows what he had in mind to do next :(
The way my heart would have sank seeing an old ass man behind the camera, knowing you’re already doing something you’re not comfortable doing then seeing someone’s ole pop pops behind the screen just confirming the situation was wild and totally out of hand. Not your fault girl, you should speak at schools too. All the best with your life ❤
Ive been in a situation like this before as a teen, Its really terrifying especially when your parents are strict and you feel like you have no one. Never let anyone have power over you like this and force you to do things youre uncomfortable with! Thank you for sharing your story
You were a child and thats why its calling grooming. Children always feel shame and that cause them to feel guilty and it changes how you assess negative things in your life usually for your whole life. I am so glad that you found strength, may we all heal from the grip of these monsters.
The initial stage of telling her how pretty she was, making her feel special, etc was the grooming part. The part with the pics was ultimately ped@phelia through the likes of extortion and blackmail. Nevertheless, it's only committed by very sick individuals. It amazes me how long these freaks get away with it.
The title alone is too much😳
Man up!
@@randymarsh9488 Shut up!
Even if he was 16 she 12 it would be illegal
@@omgitzhaze and 17 and 16 is also illegal as well
@@randymarsh9488the fuck?
This is so sad even if he had been the same age it would have been exploiting
Oh my, I love her mom!! I wonder why her parents were not involved in the *police investigation* at the beginning since she was underage. She's such a stong girl
Like she said the internet became fairly new so they probably didn’t think anything of it and she knew the warnings
The cops 👮🏼♂️ were so helpful in her unfortunate situation. 😒
Also the police knew for years, and didnt tell the parents, something tells me some of those officers are still "reviewing" her photos, to this day
@@ericdwhitmorec 😳 OMG!!!!!!
You are absolutely right! You were dealing with a deceptive liar! Thank God for your baby boy and may you reach every child exploited! Do NOT take your precious life if you made a mistake! Parents do not always know what their children are doing!!! Keep your young ones guarded to save their well-being! God bless you!
Just wanted to say that I cannot believe that a 12yo dates! My daughter had just started going through puberty at 12! She was not allowed to date until she was 16. I am so sorry that creep put you through such an awful experience.
this is sad
You got this girl. My prayers for you.
The worst ones are the scammers from overseas who are professionally trained to target vulnerable people. They don't care if it's a child or not, they will do anything for money.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤
This was why I was scared to sign up for Facebook when it first came out… and I was a 35 year old man!!! 😮😳
so weird a 35 year old man would even be interested in this video...just sayin'.
This is a scary what could have been for me.
I was playing with barbies and ponies at twelve 😅
I did it in private
Sh!t is getting unreal due to those tv and computer screens hyper sexualizing everything to everyone. I heard my friends two daughters (age 8 and 9) talking about the cheerleading outfits they wanted because of how short the shorts are. Why would they say that? Because the screens told them to. Now. Back to your regular PROGRAMMING.
She never saw the 1st 2 episodes of Degrassi TNG did she...
Thank you for your share. So sorry that this happened to you.
Why do people have to suck sooo bad?I hate this sh$t,sorry that happened to you.
Creep is the right word for this man, i hope you have or can heal, you did nothing wrong. God Bless you & bring you Peace ❤
Kids have committed suicide over this! Parents do not know because 18 is not required. And parents are responsible for their children being online! Keep your young teenagers OFFLINE! You do not know who may blackmail your child or cause your precious child to kill himself or herself!
OMG THIS GUY NEED TO BE IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE
Lucky!
I thought my dog was a cat.
Youre very lucky he wasn't local or forced you to run away to him...
If you want to actually get this epidemic of people going off the deep end
Poor girl. This is what happeend to amanda todd.
❤
It wasn’t her mums fault it was her own for making dumb decisions
Dude she was twelve and in emotional turmoil. People can seek out the feeling of being loved in very strange ways, and pre-adolescents can trust just about anyone. Was it an awesome choice she made? No. Was it her fault? No.
What the fuck...
I think if u contact ur police station maybe itll keep him at by also what movie
Trust (2010) was the movie ❤️
@@arykia thx
Expensive make-up strapless bra thank you for sharing your brilliant content thoughts

If you will always be angry with him there is unforgiveness ❤ no judgement from me but maybe something to consider, if you want to fully forgive.
True
I'm angry at this message.
@@Nita_100 that's your right 👌
Why didn’t her mother do anything about this?
Did you watch the video? 🤔
Demand ADULT ONLY. No 13 or 14 yr olds allowed.
Sue all of them! Require adult age!
Because it was all taking place over her father's house. The parents were split.
🪶🤍💛❤🖤🪶
OMG,its not your fault young lady.
🪶🤍💛❤🖤🪶
He lied, lied, lied and sneaked around. Probably a 50 or 60 yr old scamp!
